Harare, Zimbabwe – Thousands of opposition supporters in bright yellow regalia thronged the dusty Robert Mugabe Square in Harare, the Zimbabwean capital, to hear Nelson Chamisa’s final address on Monday ahead of Wednesday’s general elections.
Local singers serenade the crowd, encouraging people to vote for Chamisa, who has been nicknamed “the boy” for his youthful looks. “Ngapinde mukomana,” one sang, using a popular expression, which in the local Shona language means “let the boy in” or “let Chamisa into state house”.
